Overallocation in resource with no tasks!

Hi.

I've been trying to update a plan where one of my resources is leaving the
company. I've changed their resource availability so that it ends on their
leaving date. After this I recalculated the plan so that I could find all
tasks assigned to them after their leaving date and then move the tasks to a
new resource. Having done all this, I am still getting an overallocation
error for the resource but can not find any remaining tasks after their
leaving date.

I've checked it over and over with different leaving dates and found that
Project seems to think their is a task assigned at some time in early June
next year, this however does not show up in any of the views. I am now
thinking that the database has some dud information in it that is causing
the problem.

My question therefore is: Is there a way of cleaning up the project file to
remove any bad information, or is there another possibility for this
problem?

Hi,

Try saving the file to a .mpd database then opening from the .mpd file and
saving to .mpp again. That will clear most things.
